Building a successful web API requires more than writing code—it demands effective deployment, operational excellence, and the ability to scale under real-world workloads. This course equips learners with the skills needed to optimize, deploy, monitor, and maintain ASP.NET Core Web APIs using modern DevOps practices and cloud-native architectural approaches.

Learners will gain hands-on knowledge of implementing CI/CD pipelines with Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions, improving application performance through optimization techniques, and applying monitoring and observability practices. These capabilities help streamline software delivery, improve reliability, and support production-ready API deployments. What sets this course apart is its focus on the operational lifecycle of ASP.NET Core Web APIs. By combining deployment automation, performance best practices, resilience strategies, and cloud-native design patterns, the course connects technical concepts with practical production scenarios. This course is designed for .NET developers, backend engineers, DevOps practitioners, and software professionals who want to strengthen their expertise in API operations and deployment. A working knowledge of ASP.NET Core and web API development is recommended. This course is part of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.
